A New Yorker in my early 40s with a math background though now focused on music projects in my spare time.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I hope to help find (or verify) that anomalous signal one of these days, and I find the project well-designed. I do hope the project will continue to support the computers I use for as long as possible, of course (but that particular Red Queen's Race is a very general concern I find.)
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
